HOW DO YOU KNOW IF YOU’RE LIVING IN GOD’S WILL? It’s often difficult to discern God’s will for our lives. We want to obey, yet obedience isn’t always the hard part-it’s knowing what to obey that confuses us. If God would plainly tell us what to do, we do it! This eight-week PILGRIMAGE guide will introduce you and your group to some of the fundamental issues surrounding God’s will. It will also help you explore the important role community plays in interpreting the Father’s voice through Scripture, the Spirit’s leading, and the counsel of others. The goal of this study is to help your group become a forum where members can learn to discern God’s will together, rather than just learning what God’s will means. The PILGRIMAGE series. The life of following Christ was never meant to be solitary. The early Christians pursued it in groups not much larger than the average small group, meeting in homes for the first two hundred years of the movement. So whether you’ve joined a group to get to know a few people well, to learn in a more concentrated setting, or to focus your collective gifts toward a specific end, you are following a time-tested format for spiritual growth. The PILGRIMAGE series is designed to foster spiritual growth in a group setting. By incorporating relationship-building material into each lesson, PILGRIMAGE guides will help your group translate learning into practice.
